Pet care experience

Pawsitive vibes only!

With 13 years of experience caring for my pup Lilo, who requires special attention due to a severe heart condition, I understand the needs of older dogs and dogs on special medication or diets. I've also taken care of several other breeds including Golden Doodles, Huskies, American Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Frenchies and more. My expertise extends to handling reactivity, managing hyperactive pups, and positively reinforcing or correcting behaviors to ensure a happy, balanced dog. I'm here to provide the same level of care and love to your dogs that I do my own :)

Safety, trust & environment

At home, I provide a secure and loving environment for Lilo, with a fenced yard and pool for safe play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their rules and routines, ensuring that their pets feel comfortable and secure. I adapt to their specific needs, maintaining a safe environment while providing the same level of attention and care.

Alex did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Blanch. I was initially anxious about leaving her with someone new, as she is very energetic and has a tendency to nip, so I’m always selective about who I trust around her. However, I recently went on vacation for a week and hired Alex to stay with her, and he exceeded my expectations. He was incredible, and Blanch adored him. His ability to adapt to different types of dogs, not just small lapdogs, is truly impressive. Whether your dog requires extra attention, special care, or frequent walks, Alex is attentive and agile. Blanch had her own little vacation with him, being pampered all week long. In fact, she wasn’t too pleased when I returned home and things went back to normal! I’m so grateful for Alex’s love and dedication to animals. I will definitely be using his services again.

I was Referred to Alex as I needed someone to watch my high maintenance, pit bull mix dog, Lucille. I wanted to go away yet was very concerned about finding someone I could trustworthy responsible with her. Lucille is sweet but skiddish as she was rehomed to me from a family that didn’t give her much love and attention. The minute she met Alex she ran and brought him her toy and wouldn’t leave his side. Alex watched her for a week, sent me daily pup-dates with pics, videos etc. He walked and played with her several times a day. The telltale sign of her feeling comfortable with him was she ate her food every day while I was away. Clearly he’s not only responsible but able to take care of a high maintenance, needy doggy. When I picked her up she didn’t want to leave Alex which was a good sign. I could tell that she was well exercised, loved and cared for while I was away. Alex is responsible and capable of handling any/all types of dog. It’s apparent that he loves dogs and even more apparent, they love him!! I wouldn’t leave my furry baby with anyone else and now plan my vacations around Alex’s availability.

Alex is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! I have a German shepherd/husky mix who is hyper, dramatic, and reactive with other dogs. He is extremely patient and kind with her and handles her reactivity really well on walks. He’s always mindful of other animals in the elevators and hallways especially to make sure she’s not in any dangerous situation and holds her well when she pulls and calms her down. He always wipes her paws after walks (which she makes very difficult to do) but he handles it with ease (and some treats). Alex has tons of experience with dogs who need special medical attention so when my dog had an ear infection he was great with giving her the ear drops she needed. I usually have extreme trust issues and am an overprotective dog mama so I never expected to trust someone with my little baby as much as I trust him. My pup loves him so much she’s more excited to see him than she is to see me!

Alex was great ! He came early for the first initial meeting and spoke in a great manner. After that he arrived on time for each session to take care of Thor; reassured me that he's responsible. Best part is Thor loved him too ! 100% recommend !

I have known Alexander for almost 10 years now and he’s had a really cool dog name Lilo the entire time I’ve known him. He cares for him like a lil brother. He always plays with him and takes him on walks and when Lilo had a health scare late last year, Alexander was right there taking him to the vet and making sure he was ok. Alexander also takes care of his girlfriend’s dog while she is out of town. Dogs love him and you will love him taking care of your dog. He’s also a people’s person, so he’s approachable with a great personality.

There is no one I trust with my dog more than Alex! I can always rely on him to care for my dog as if it were his own. It is obvious my dog loves him as much as he loves her! He is extremely experienced and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter!
